SciPlay Corp., the maker of mobile and web games such as Jackpot Party Casino, fell more than 17% in premarket trading after ending talks to sell out to majority ownerScientific Games Corp., a large supplier to the gambling industry.

The two sides were unable to come to terms after a special committee of SciPlay’s board rejected Scientific Games’ initial stock-swap offer, according to a statement Wednesday.

Scientific Games said in July that SciPlay would help it achieve a goal to become a cross-platform global gaming company. Las Vegas-based Scientific Games has been repositioning, and agreed in October to sell its lotteries business to Brookfield Asset Management Inc.for almost $6 billion.

The company already owns 81% of SciPlay and had offered 0.25 of its shares for each share of SciPlay it didn’t already hold.
